中国石化新闻网讯 据世界石油6月22日消息称，据知情人士透露，埃克森美孚公司准备在未来三至五年内，通过使用绩效评估系统找出表现不佳的员工，将其美国办事处的员工人数每年减少5%至10%。

　　这名不愿透露姓名的知情人士说，此次裁员的目标是相对于同行而言评级最低的员工，因此不会被定性为裁员。虽然这些员工通常会接受所谓的绩效改善计划，但预计很多人最终会自行离职。该知情人士说，今年的评估正在进行中，但受影响的员工尚未收到通知。

　　埃克森美孚发言人Casey Norton在一封电子邮件中说：“过去几个月，我们一直在进行年度绩效评估。如果员工不能发挥他们的最高能力，他们可能需要参与改进计划。这是一项已实施多年的年度程序，目的是提高业绩。这个过程与裁员计划无关。”

　　该计划与埃克森美孚去年宣布的到2022年将在全球范围内裁员1.4万人的计划无关，而且该计划将远远超出原定的时间范围。对埃克森美孚来说，这是一个动荡的时期，该公司仍在努力应对上月年度大会的影响。当时，股东以气候和财务问题为由拒绝了最高管理层，并更换了四分之一的董事会成员。

　　据公司提交的文件显示，截至去年年底，埃克森美孚在全球拥有72,000名员工，其中40%在美国工作。

　　Exxon plans to annually cull up to 10% of U.S. office jobs for next several years

　　Exxon Mobil Corp. is preparing to reduce headcount at its U.S. offices by between 5% and 10% annually for the next three to five years by using its performance-evaluation system to suss out low performers, according to people familiar with the matter.

　　The cuts will target the lowest-rated employees relative to peers, and for that reason will not be characterized as layoffs, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information isn’t public. While such workers are typically put on a so-called performance improvement plan, many are expected to eventually leave on their own. This year’s evaluation is happening now but affected employees have not yet been notified, the people said.

　　“Our annual performance assessment process has been occurring over the last several months,” Exxon spokesman Casey Norton said in an email. “Where employees are not contributing to their highest ability, they may need to participate in an improvement plan. This is an annual process which has been in place for many years, and it is meant to improve performance. This process is unrelated to workforce reduction plans.”

　　The plan is separate from Exxon’s announcement last year that it will cut 14,000 jobs worldwide by 2022, and it would extend reductions well beyond that original time frame. It’s a tumultuous time for Exxon, which is still grappling with the fallout from last month’s annual meeting, when shareholders rebuffed top management and replaced a quarter of the company’s board over climate and financial concerns.

　　Exxon had 72,000 employees globally at the end of last year, of which 40% worked in the U.S., according to a company filing.
